People are not perfectly spherical insurance customers operating in a vacuum.

In light of that, what non-adversely uses does this data have with respect to the people whom are the target of this data collection?

Helping them and everyone else find behavioral solutions to avoid using their phone while driving, for example rewarding good behavior with discount, gift cards, etc.

There are a number of insurance companies literally trying to help adjust behavior in order to save lives of those distracted and the innocent bystanders and other drivers on the road.

This is literally using the data adversely to the "badly behaved" customers.
